Honeymoon rhinitis

Honeymoon rhinitis is a condition in which the sufferer experiences nasal congestion during sexual intercourse.[1]

The condition appears to be genetically determined, and caused by the presence in the nose of erectile tissue which may become engorged during sexual arousal as a side effect of the signals from the autonomic nervous system that trigger changes in the genitals of both men and women.

A related condition called sexually induced sneezing also exists, where people sneeze, sometimes uncontrollably, when engaging in or even thinking about sexual activity.[2]

A phenomenon presumably related to 'honeymoon rhinitis' is the occurrence of nasal congestion as a reported side effect of Viagra use.[3]
